That doesn't sound anything at all like what Wake Up Girls is actually about. It's a show about a girl who was a member of a more popular idol unit, but got forced out, and some time later she becomes a part of a new more indie idol group trying to make it big from scratch. It's filled with draaaaaaaaaaama, but it seems more like a "wanna be realistic" idol show than Idolmaster or Love Live.
Don't I need to see the Blue Exorcist show, first?
Speaking of that, you should probably watch Macross: Do You Remember Love?.
I see no Porco Rosso on that list. You need to correct this asap.
Why you don't watch Do You Remember Love yet..
Btw since Disney ditching 2D, its really hard for me to giving a damn to hollywood animation blockbuster.. I really don't like the artstyle approach.
I do enjoy Cloudy and the Meatballs though, its just clicking to me.
It's pretty self-contained. Might help with some background stuff but it's sort of like the 6th One Piece movie where you can infer enough to follow.

Realism like skeevy producers pushing the idols into pervy photo shoots. Yamakan exposing the dark side of the idol industry. Or something.
Oh, really? I'm way off then. But I saw Tohoku and my mind immediately went to earthquake related stuff.
Soon. I'm in no rush to see a movie with Minmay and Hikaru Ichijo. They can wait till Musashi crushes the Dinosaur Empire.
I forgot to add Totoro to that, but yes, I haven't seen Porco Rosso. Also Spirited Away if I forgot that. Howl's is my favorite, though.
I confess I wasn't a huge fan of the designs of Elsa and Ana, but honestly, Frozen was impressive to me visually and from a story telling standpoint. The graphics of the ice, man. That stuff was absolutely amazing to look at. I really appreciated that the movie went about subverting a fair number of Disney Princess Standards
"You can't marry someone you just met!"
Hans shouldn't have been evil. He just should've not been her true love. That would've been so much harder hitting than just making him evil. It's the same as in The Lion King: Just because Scar was evil doesn't mean he should've been a shitty King, because then it would've been a lot more intense making Simba fight him for his right to rule and exposing him as the real killer, rather than just "Eh whatever Scar was a shitty King anyway." I appreciated that they made the true love between sisters, but there was no need for that last minute "Hans is evil!" reveal.
Yeah I don't think that's really much incentive for someone who already doesn't enjoy anime movies to go rushing into it.
Dude you need to stop watching so much bad anime.
More of a case where the main cast is established but if you want to know who incidental background character B is in their 4 minutes of screentime, previous knowledge would be nice. Also it has some of the best art directiona round.
I don't actually think I can. Even when I think I've found a good show someone else tells me it sucks. So soldiering through the shit is the way to be.
Eh. You know how terrible I am at appreciating the aesthetic quality of things.
Mostly it doesnt but with a large enough list you start noticing not being able to recognize shows and its just aggravating.
I watched Frozen 3 times Corvy. Im addicted to it. I need to watch it more.
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - 15
And the ship combat at the end of the episode constantly had me at the edge of my seat.
Had to pick my jaw up off the floor after this one. The visuals of the Garmillians
destroying that planet were breathtaking. Gave me vibes of Love Drifts Away.

It took an entire episode for Biscuit to speak.
She's a biscuit, she's a biscuit, god damn

Ana is definitely your kind of protagonist. I'm more a fan of Elsa. Something about women with world ending powers.
This one's easy to appreciate:

You're watching List shows. There are definitely shows where people argue over quality but most of those List shows are on that list for a reason. It's fine to watch a bad show, that you know is bad going in, every now and then but you're missing out on a lot of the classics.
I actually started watching Witchcraft today and it's not that bad actually. The animation is surprisingly good and there is a lot of kinetic energy that is missing from the manga.
The MC being beta as fuck is also sorta amusing now.
Oh we're doing lists?!
Stuff from previous season:
- Samurai Flamenco
- Kill la Kill
- Gundam Build Fighters
- Magi S2
New Stuff I really like:
- Hozuki
- Noragami
- Silver Spoon S2
- Witch Craft Works
New Stuff that's okay:
- World Conquest
- Wizard Barristers
- Inari
- Pilot's Love Song
- Space Dandy
New Stuff which I dropped:
- Nobunaga
- Nobunagun
- Sakura Trick
- Seki-kun

Oh yeah, I watched Hozuki no Reitetsu too. Best comedy show of the season.
1. tonari no seki-kun
2. nagi no asukara
3. hozuki no reitetsu
4. inari konkon koi iroha
5. seitokai yakuindomo
I might check out Noragami, I already "read" the raws for first 7 volumes of the manga and I like the way they handle their antagonists so I might watch it eventually.

Subete no aware
I... can't disagree with this.
It's okay. The thing is, 'okay' is a very poor performance considering the staff.
The animation on the other hand is glorious. I'd even say it's exceeding expectations.
no it just kinda fails, no need to consider 'saving anime' or hype

So who takes the blame for this one?
This is how this season stands for me right now.

I wouldn't say that. I still need to watch the third episode, but I didn't find the stories in episodes one and two interesting at all. If it weren't for the expectation that it'd get better and the animation, I'd probably have dropped it already.

i disagree, it's perfectly entertaining and I don't see the sky-is-falling stuff everybody is calling out at all.
Sure considering staff pedigree, not what I would have expected. But I don't think it's bad.
Why not both?
It's pretty much the same conclusion that I've reached will Kill la Kill. I wasn't particularly hyped for it myself - interested, yes. But I've read so much criticism of well...criticism that stems around 'expecations', that people will continually conflate anything negative with that.
It's just as feasible to dislike a show on its own terms.
